An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

Mini 24 V Servo Actuator with Dual Absolute Encoder and Panel Mount Connectors Dual Absolute encoder versions of the FHA-C from Electromate feature BiSS-C bi-directional communication for both ...

A new series of commutating motor feedback encoders is said to make it easier and cheaper for designers to improve machine performance and productivity in stepper and servo motor applications.

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

These AMT series encoders from AutomationDirect can be set for most models using the free AMT Viewpoint software and they also offer line driver and push-pull output signals configurable up to 4096 ...

Optical rotary encoders are the most widely used way to transform mechanical rotary motion into electrical signals. There are three basic configurations for optical encoders: incremental, absolute, ...

For any designs that deal with large motors, isolation is a desired characteristic for both control and sense loops. Turn on, turn off, changes in load, changes in power, and unexpected events can ...

Southington, Conn. -- August 11, 2011... For speed and position monitoring on large diameter shafts, Baumer introduces their HDMag line of high-precision, bearing-less and contact-free magnetic tape ...
